7. The coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah;They shall feed their flocks there;In the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening.For the Lord their God will intervene for them,And return their captives.
8. “I have heard the reproach of Moab,And the insults of the people of Ammon,With which they have reproached My people,And made arrogant threats against their borders.
9. Therefore, as I live,”Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,“Surely Moab shall be like Sodom,And the people of Ammon like Gomorrah—Overrun with weeds and saltpits,And a perpetual desolation.The residue of My people shall plunder them,And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”
10. This they shall have for their pride,Because they have reproached and made arrogant threatsAgainst the people of the Lord of hosts.
11. The Lord will be awesome to them,For He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth;People shall worship Him,Each one from his place,Indeed all the shores of the nations.
12. “You Ethiopians also,You shall be slain by My sword.”
13. And He will stretch out His hand against the north,Destroy Assyria,And make Nineveh a desolation,As dry as the wilderness.
